Lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia: combined treatment with fesoterodine fumarate extended-release and tamsulosin--a prospective study.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Brief episodes of ischemia followed by periods of reperfusion generate a powerful protective mechanism in cell, tissue or organ, which increase the resistance to further ischemic damage. This is known as ischemic preconditioning, and has not been investigated in testis. The present experiments were underta...
